Marvel’s Black Widow is once again a legal battleground between Marvel and its talent.<\/p>\n
The co-creators of Yelena Belova say they thought they had signed a contract entitling them to $25k apiece for the Black Widow movie and the various other appearances that came along with it, such as action figures and video games. Instead, they were paid just $5k.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving spoken to a number of creators, Marvel’s financial offerings seem a bit of a bait and switch,\u201d artist JG Jones told The Hollywood Reporter. \u201cThey throw out a large number, then little by little they whittle down the actual payout.\u201d<\/p>\n
